<p>Hi,<br>
I have a macbook pro with 256gb storage, so for compiling rust, it is a little few space if I want to save other things on it as well. I was wondering does anybody have experience with compiling <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust</a> from flash drive there? Is it so slow that you really don't want to do that?</p>

<p>I would really not recommend that, compiling rust is slow enough as is <span aria-label="sweat smile" class="emoji emoji-1f605" role="img" title="sweat smile">:sweat_smile:</span></p>

<p>if you want to take up less disk space, you could use system llvm and <code>incremental = false</code></p>

<p>yeah, i was afraid of that... it probably will shuffle stuff via the usb pipe to cpu and back... :(</p>

<p>I don't think anyone has tried it, so it's probably worth giving it a shot.</p>
